Official rulings

7 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

If the copied creature had {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

2020-01-24 · Wizards of the Coast

If the copied creature was copying something else, then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature copied.

2020-01-24 · Wizards of the Coast

If the token is a copy of a creature whose power and toughness are defined by an ability (usually printed as */* or similar), the token doesn't copy the ability that defines its power and toughness. It remains a 1/1 creature.

2020-01-24 · Wizards of the Coast

The token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that had changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.

2020-01-24 · Wizards of the Coast

The token copies the creature as it last existed on the battlefield before it died, not as it existed in the graveyard before it was exiled.

2020-01-24 · Wizards of the Coast

If something becomes a copy of the token, the copy is also a 1/1 and a Nightmare.

2020-01-24 · Wizards of the Coast

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters the battlefield" or "[this creature] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the creature will also work.
